French ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies has responded to the falsehoods spread by the Azerbaijani media regarding the EU civilian monitoring mission in Armenia, that, allegedly, France is deploying members of its intelligence services to the Azerbaijani border.

"A spy fantasy featuring as a bonus a sniper style coverage of my visit today to Nerkin Hand [village], Armenia, with the Governor of Syunik [Province]," the French diplomat wrote on X Tuesday night.

Yesterday’s visit by the EU monitors and the French ambassador to Nerkin Hand village in Armenia had caused the displeasure of the pro-government media of Azerbaijan. Also, they had publicized footage from this visit, alleging that the members of the French intelligence services were being stationed there.
